Chapter 25_It is Coming

"What is wrong with that fellow?" Mackenzie cried out.

"He must be out of his mind, gross he is so weird. A waste of his pretty face and body" Mia added.

I remembered Ajax said he was a demon controller. Maybe that thing was a demon of some sort or a thing of the underworld since it went into the ground.

"He's not weird, it's just his ability. He is a demon controller" I said in a defense tone.

Why do I have the urge to defend him? I should be happy the girls thought he was out of his mind. After all, I do not like him not in the least bit.

I was looking for his flaws and there, I have another. He was crazy and out of his mind.

Of course, I am happy.

Except do not feel happy.

"We mean no harm. You don't have to bite us over your soon-to-be lover" Mackenzie hollered at me.

"What? You must be kidding. What do you mean my soon to be lover" I protested.

"Yeah, you were defending him. We know you've taken a fancy to the senior dear Medusa" Mia chipped in.

"Seriously girls?" I threw my hands up in protest..

The girls rolled their eyes. I know the girls will pick on me more if I prolonged the whole soon-to-be lover stuff so I kept quiet and gave them horrible names in my head.

"I'm so tired, just want to sleep peacefully in my bed now" I said.

"Tired? It's not like you've been doing anything specific all day. You don't even have a team yet" Mia sarcastically attacked me like always.

Ok, I think know what her problem with me is. She probably thought I'm better than her so she always feel attacking me would make me feel less special.

Of course I'm better than her, I started smiling to myself again unknowingly.

"And there she goes again" Mackenzie shook her head.

"What?" I pouted " Depression is very real, I should have various reasons to smile." I defended myself.

"Arghh Medusa, why are you so not serious all the time? Did you find your team yet?" Mia repeated.

"Yes, yes I did" I moved my mouth closer to her. "what's your deal? Yeah found I my team" I hollered.

"And what do they do in your team?" Mackenzie asked.

"Wait" I said suddenly in response to Mia and they stopped in their tracks. I ran to the front of them and started twisting my body as we choreographed in the team earlier on.

"The dancing team?" Mackenzie squeezed a side of her face.

"Singing and dancing team" I corrected, still dancing.

"Ok, ok we've seen it. Can we go now?" Mia asked.

I knew she was a killjoy. She probably felt bored watching a well-choreographed dance like I was displaying.

Does she even go to parties in the other dimension?

Does she even have fun at all or live to enjoy life? Okay, I knew I said she was just like Cassandra but Cassandra was definitely not a kill joy.

I suddenly missed the girls again. I always try to shake off thoughts about the other dimension because whenever I do, I remember mama and Anas and then the horrible nightmare about Ajax. Whenever I do, my heart always do skip a beat, I would die before watching anything happen to mama and Anas.

But then they do not remember me anymore, what sort of life was this?

Maybe I only need to work hard to survive to the second year and when I go on missions , I would make sure to visit them. Even if it was from afar.

Dancing is something I liked to do and it helps clear my head from these negative vibes, so I ignored Mia's shouts that were telling me to stop dancing and allow us to go to the hostel.

I turned around and swirled before somersaulting to last move and when I stopped to look at the girls, they were not behind me and watching my dance anymore.

I looked on at the way in the front and saw their backs leaving. They were ditching me again! Why do they always do that to me? I remember what happened the last time they ditched me and I felt my blood turn ice cold while my fingers twitched.

I ran swiftly to them to catch up and soon met them on the way.

"How wicked can you guys be?" I shouted.

"What? You wanted to dance in the night and we gave you the freedom to do so " It was definitely Mia who responded.

"We are tired and I want to get ready for the entry test tomorrow, sorry." Mackenzie said and continued walking.

I rolled my eyes and pouted my mouth at them. Soon, I will be the one ditching them when I get my powers, I will magically make Athena, Iris, and Cassandra appear and I will chat and gist with them all day every day.

Look at me talking like know what my powers would be. If only the Dean can quit being secretive and tell me the kind of power my father has, maybe I would have an insight on what my powers would be.

"Patience Medusa" Mackenzie said beside me.

How did she know what was thinking? Did she read my thoughts? Wow, Mackenzie was full of surprises. Few classes and she is able to control her power so well.

"You can control your powers now? You can read minds perfectly now?" I tugged at her shirt like a puppy happy to see its owner.

She shrugged me off "Not perfectly but I can do a few tricks now." she replied.

"Wow, you're so cool" Mia said to her and adjusted her glasses.

If she felt flattered by our praises, she did not show it. She was just as strong as a stone, her heart too!

We got to the hostel and hadn't walked far when we saw a figure at the entrance of one of the rooms. It was white with silver hair and curled up like a wolf burying its head down it lap.

We simultaneously spotted the figure and stopped in our tracks.

"A wolf in the hostel?" Mia whispered.

Oh no, a wolf?

"I hate wolves" I shivered.

"Stay behind me" Mackenzie instructed us and we quickly went to clutch her clothes behind her.

I was scared out of my wits, if the wolf should attack us, I would pee my pants.

What can three girls do in the middle of the night with a wolf? Thank the Lord this was a hostel and it was filled with girls who were 18 like Mackenzie. I wouldn't hesitate to shout at the top of my voice and wake up all the sleeping girls.

We followed Mackenzie's lead who approached the figure with caution.

We were expecting the wolf to make some gritting sounds with its teeth as we neared but it was quiet.

"Is it dead?" Mia whispered

"Shhh" I cautioned her using her best line. She always liked to shush us by putting her hands on her lips.

We continued to approach the figure and as we neared it, saw it was not a wolf figure but a strange 18 weirdo girl with silver hair and white clothes with silver eyeballs.

I sagged my shoulders "Guys, this is no wolf"

"Will you shush your little mouth!" Mia scolded with a whisper.

The figure heard my voice and turned to us.

As realization that it was a who and not a what dawned on Mia.. "What are you doing!" She could not hold her anger and shouted at her.

She turned her ocean silver eyes to us and I saw an empty vast blankness in it.

What the hell is wrong with this girl? Why was she acting like a witch?

"It is coming" she said to us, the voidness now taking over the little life in her eyes.

"What is coming?" Mia frowned at her it was obvious she thought the girl was out of her mind. If she hadn't saved us then, I would have believed she was insane too but now I know not to take her words lightly.

"The force that claims and purges" she replied.

Ok, maybe she was a little out of her mind.

"What are you talking about?" I asked her.

"Hide in your rooms, don't go out. Avoid the claimed, avoid the purge " she chanted.

"Are you talking about Ajax?" I asked in wonder.

If she meant Ajax then should have a cause to worry.

"Who is Ajax?" she sounded normal.

"The one who attacked us the other time" I answered.

"No, I have not seen anything about him, I am speaking to you about the purge. Do not go out" she warned again.

"Yeah, yeah we've heard you, The purge yeah. We will leave you to your gospel. We are going to bed now" Mackenzie said with an unbelieving tone and pushed me and Mia forward.

We went to our room while the silver-haired girl continued to stare at us as we stepped in.

"She's certainly lost it" Mia shook her head as she removed her glasses.

"But she sometimes speaks the truth. You know she sees the future, am only concerned about what she meant by the purge" I said.

"Whatever is coming, the school can worry about it not me. I don't own the school " Mia replied and lay in her bed.

"Good night girls" Mackenzie cut in without adding any comment about the matter at hand.

"Goodnight" Me and Mia replied and also laid in our beds too.

Thoughts of what the silver-haired girl said ravaged my mind until I slowly drifted to sleep.
